Tom Jones

 

Tom Jones was a standout first baseman during baseball’s dead ball era when the action was focused on the infield, and the infield was loaded with pebbles, stones and even bits of glass. He was among the leaders in fielding all thru his 8 major league seasons and compiled a splendid .984 career fielding percentage.

 

The 6 ft 1 inch, 195-pound Tom Jones was also an excellent base runner, stealing 135 career bases.
